Topic: Cataloging you collection? (Read 663 times)

Since my remodel is nearing completion it is getting to the time bring all my toys out from storage. I want to catalog all of my Star Wars figures and toys since I have no clue what I have anymore. Does anyone have a piece of software to do that? I was thinking of creating a spreadsheet or even designing an Microsoft Access database for it.

I have just used a spreadsheet with tabs for different items. At this point, I just have one tab for vintage that lists everything I have in that area since it is mostly just the 3 3/4" figures and the 12" figures. For other stuff I have tabs for 3 3/4" OT and prequel, 12" for both and misc. (ships, beast packs, etc.) for both. Also have tabs for Legos, Hallmark ornaments, replicas, books and comics, loose figures, etc. For figures I would track name, cardback type, serial number, and price I paid. For other items, I have different columns, like set number and block count for legos or author for novels and comics. Last tab is a running total of all of my items, mostly for insurance purposes.

I just have a giant Excel spreadsheet with everything in alphabetical order and what line it's from, etc. That way when I can't remember if I own something or a version of something I can look it up that way. Not ideal, but better than nothing and once you have it originally done it's easy to update.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with filters on it and hyperlinks to previously released versions. It is just for Hasbro and Kubrick stuff though. Let me know if you want a copy and I will send it over. There is a guy in our MN collecting group that has made an access DB complete with UPCs. I can check into that as well if you have Access software.
